This Monday, March 16th at 18:30, Haifux will gather to enjoy Orna Agmon
Ben-Yehuda's talk about
Introduction to openmp
Abstract
(Orna hasn't submitted an abstract... I'll improvise)
This meeting will be an introduction to OpenMP API, which is a
preparation lecture for "openmp - from the developer's side", coming up
next. If time allows (it never does, but anyhow) the beginning of the
latter lecture will be delivered on this Monday as well.
So what is OpenMP? Wikipedia says:
The OpenMP (Open Multi-Processing) is an application programming
interface (API) that supports multi-platform shared memory
multiprocessing programming in C, C++ and Fortran on many architectures,
including Unix and Microsoft Windows platforms. It consists of a set of
compiler directives, library routines, and environment variables that
influence run-time behavior.
Jointly defined by a group of major computer hardware and software
vendors, OpenMP is a portable, scalable model that gives programmers a
simple and flexible interface for developing parallel applications for
platforms ranging from the desktop to the supercomputer.
An application built with the hybrid model of parallel programming can
run on a computer cluster using both OpenMP and Message Passing
Interface (MPI).
